Apple manager fired following widespread iOS Maps criticism?

Eddy Cue, senior vice president of internet software and services, is soliciting advice from mapping technology experts such as TomTom to improve the Apple Maps product, according to Bloomberg.

Prior to iOS 6, Apple used a Google-powered maps solution on its devices. This was dropped on September 19 and customers immediately voiced concerns over the accuracy of Apple's proprietary maps offering. This widespread reaction led to CEO Tim Cook offering a rare apology for any frustration caused.

"At Apple, we strive to make world-class products that deliver the best experience possible to our customers. With the launch of our new Maps last week, we fell short on this commitment," Cook wrote.
